Very nice "Whatif", I like the front mantle protection. The larger gun would of helped to keep them out of harms way.

Nicely finished Andrew !!!
As it looks like an evolution of the Black Prince prototypes, I'm going to store the photos in my "what if" picture file as "British A43 Black Prince Mk. II "BANGOR VIII""
It looks great but I still think the gun mantle needs a deeper cutout so the gun could depress more.
I think it would be pretty difficult to engage targets from the top of a rise if they were at a lower elevation.
Great job though !!!
Cheers

I think she looks magnificent andrew. what kind of armor does this particular tank have? Would it be able to withstand a Tiger? What about a IS-2 or 3? I think with that 4in gun she could knock anything out.
